I’m thrilled with my replacement cable. It has solved the following issues I was seeing:
Pixel sparkles
Black flashes
White flashes (which were very annoying)
Multi-colored horizontal line flashing (also very annoying)
And unexpectedly: The every-other line differs issue (when quickly moving your head with a bright background I saw an effect much like looking at an old CRT TV)
I’ve only had about 20 minutes to test it, but I saw none of the previous problems at all. I had gotten used to them, but I didn’t realize how much they were affecting my immersion.
My 8K has gone from a good headset with some issues, to a great headset. I am very happy. This was worth the wait: ~15 months for the headset and ~1 month for the replacement cable.
Oh I get that all the time. My Pimax was delivered when I was just away a few days. Then my other Pimax the same. Then my DAS arrived and I had 4 days before I could use it. I’m getting a bit used to it now
What kind of cable is this? A normal double HDMI cable? I havent received my pimax yet, but i think id rather buy it myself than bothering doing this resending process.
Yes, McUH is correct. It’s a replacement for my Pimax cable, the original was defective. I could use VR, but there was a lot of signal problems. Here’s a through-the-lens video, showing the problem (which is the evidence I provided to support, to get a replacement cable). Ignore the flickering; watch for the black and white flashes. Usually, it wasn’t as often as it is in this video…
I am very happy. This was worth the wait: ~15 months for the headset and ~1 month for the replacement cable.
